I also hate spring in Denver. I just planted flowers and my bulbs are blooming. This storm will most likely kill them all. Even my trees were blooming. I think we will get around 12&quot;-15&quot;. Especially southern metro Denver.

We had a very mild winter, except for December which had -25F temperatures. January was nice as was February. March is ending on a bad note and I believe April will be really bad. Snow and cold will prevail. I believe it is payback time for our mild winter.

What I really hate is that the MAG will be sprayed everywhere and that stuff makes my car rust. I had a bunch of electrical shorts and the mechanic told me it is the MAG that they spray. It eats rubber, plastic, metal and brake lining. Nasty stuff.

The storm probably won't permanently kill your bulbs, but it certainly will flatten them.
March/April and often May can be a heartbreaking time for Colorado gardeners and farmers. I've seen many a blossoming crabapple splintered into pieces, ancient evergreens felled, forsythia a soggy mush on the ground.
And yeah, it's not a snow day for those who *have* to go out in it.
But y'all need moisture--we do too, and if it makes you feel any better, we've had the coldest winter here in over 20 years.
Hang in there, and if you're out on the road, drive defensively.

We deliberately chose a later blooming crab apple when we bought this, our second Colorado home. It has barely started to leaf out. My friend's already has buds.

Fortunately, I am off today, but have to work tomorrow, which will likely be worse!

I hear ya- I live in Northglenn and snow days are mandatory at my job... we have been advised in no uncertan terms that 'if you feel like you can't make it to work then you should get a hotel close to work- and show up'- no excuses for snow here!
